Nonconceptuality is based upon the premise that the primary tenets of religion and science are expressions of a single fundamental model/message. This model/message is a clue/information to help lead consciousness out of the game. Furthermore, Nonconceptuality holds that an incorrect interpretation of the fundamental model/message will result in the search for the correct interpretation. This searching is the propagation of all systems of thought beyond the primary tenets. Upon realization of the correct interpretation, all seeking ends, which results in transcendence of the system (science, religion and all systems of thought are no longer needed and therefore completed).
THE PRIMARY TENETS OF MAJOR RELIGIONS:
1. There is a higher dimensional, more fundamental realm/state than the one we experience:
- Christianity: Heaven
- Hinduism: Moksha
- Buddhism: Nirvana
- Taoism: Tao
2. Transcendence of the physical realm/state into the higher realm/state results in the end of the cycle of birth and death, as well as all suffering.
3. There is a force/power that prevents us access to the higher state:
- Christianity: Satan
- Hinduism: Maya
- Buddism: Ignorance
- Taoism: Ignorance
4. There is something one must learn or do within this realm in order to break free from this power.
5. Transcendence to the higher realm is possible because others have done it:
- Christ
- Ramana Maharshi
- Buddha
- Lao Tzu
6. The religions that include a deity state that the universe is not fundamental, but created (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis).
Therefore, Nonconceptuality holds the reason why this realm is created as:
This realm is a divine game, with the goal of the game being to escape.
Nonconceptuality takes this as the simplest, most accurate and effective metaphor with which to encapsulate the singular message expressed in the six points above. Any additional interpretations are not further clarifications, but rather incorrect interpretations of the prime message. Any elaborations or additional information beyond the primary tenets will not bring one closer to truth, but further away. These errant systems of thought are manifest as every branch religion, sub religion, and denomination.
In the spirit of Occam's Razor, Nonconceptuality holds that increasing complexity within thought is the manifestation of the "force" of Maya/Satan/ignorance/misinterpretation. The validity of one's belief systems must be tested against one's own life/experience, not against further thought. If your life is full of turmoil and suffering, then the system you are operating from is in error, regardless of how many other people around you are validating that system as true.
The myriad of discrepancies of beliefs between religions, and within religions, has led not to Heaven, Moksha, Nirvana, but away into greater division and suffering. In this way the expansion of religion, which is fundamentally just another system through which to increase thought, has contributed to greater suffering.
BASE
1: A base that is in motion will lead to instability.
As thoughts and sensations are in constant motion, a self/identity based upon thoughts and sensations will result in instability within the psyche. Therefore, the most effective practice to gain stability is to connect with (realize that you are) that which does not move or change. As the quality of thought-free Awareness is always the same, to find stability delve deeply into the stillness between thoughts.
EVALUATING THE BASE OF YOUR PSYCHE
The following exercise is paramount.
Sit in a quiet, still room for one hour. Just sit there without moving or thinking. Simply sit and do not think for one hour. The degree to which one is unable to remain still in body and mind, and be happy, is the degree to which one is attached to Maya (illusion).
2: As mind is the base of the psyche, the more movement within that mind, the less stable the psyche.
If you cannot be happy in and of your own existence, something is wrong. You must remain objective throughout this process. Mind will want you to reject this as irrelevant, but it is self evident that a peaceful/still mind will lead to sanity and peace, whereas an unstoppable, chaotic mind will lead to chaos and suffering.
If mind begins debating statements that are self-evident, this is a sign that you are in a state where you take, without question, everything the mind presents to be true. This need not be the case. Consciousness is capable of transcending thought.
Peace is a still mind. If you want peace, you must have a still mind.
Only upon the persistent, unending practice of focusing on the space between thoughts will the truth of these statements be verified.
THE END GAME
TRUTH ➡REALITY = HAPPINESS
Truth (spiritual practice) leads to Reality (Self), which is synonymous with happiness (perfect contentment). Self/Reality/Base is not something that is attained or created, as this would mean that Base is changing/moving. Heaven is not a "high" or some state of euphoria, for every high necessitates an accompanying low. Nonconceptuality is not a means to an end, but rather the way in which consciousness sees through the illusion to remember it's true nature, which is simply perfect contentment.
Nonconceptuality is the One Step Path to contentment. If you are looking for something other than peace, Nonconceptuality ain't gonna be your thing.
